For those of us who have been using Excel for many years and were forced to learn long and complicated functions, including array formulas, these new functions are mindboggling! Thanks!

These functions were just introduced yesterday by the great Excel development team to the Office insider community. Although I have seen a few other early bird MVPs introduce this function to the audience, I haven't seen anyone who explained it in an easy-to-understand way like you Leila. As always you have presented outstandingly well and concisely. Keep it up!

Daaaaaayyyyyuuuuuummmm bruh! Never in my life did I ever think I would be excited about Excel functions but these are dope!

The CHOOSECOLS function is going to be awesome! This makes doing FILTER SORT tables even better because I won't have to create staging tables that only include the data I want to show in the filtered and sorted table. I can easily create a subset of the original data and display only what I want to display. Such a game changer!

You are amazing, Leila. Your course on VBA made me fall in love with programming and I nailed two interviews yesterday. Python was super easy to learn after VBA and now I can finally see some hope in my life. Thank you so much.

I've been waiting for these Textbefore and Textafter functions! No more tedious left, right and mid! Thank you Leila for letting us know!

Thank you for presenting these new time saving functions. As always, you explained them so well with real world examples of how we might apply them. You are a Master!! Thank you

I agree, at first glace, TEXTSPLIT will be the first new function that I can easily integrate into my regular routine. Thanks, Leila, I heard about these new functions but waited for your video. You always do a great job of adding simplicity and clarity to everything related to Excel.

I’ve made a table a few days before and i even thought “this have to be done much easier” and now there it is! :-) Hope the update will be installed soon on my business devices. Thanks for this “breaking”! 👍

My favorite is also Textsplit. Using Left, Right, MID, LEN usually was a bit tricky to write. This saves a lot of complexity.

WOW! - in a lot of our reports the emphasis in on text, names, organisation etc., top choice TEXTSPLIT, but also CHOOSECOLS - amazing - Liela does it again! Thanks Leila

Excel's recent(ish) developments have been AMAZING. Xlookups, dynamic arrays like unique/filter, upcoming searchable auto-completing lists. And now text split and choose cols, which will have many use cases! Super exciting. Please Excel team: dependent dropdowns / multiple dependent dropdowns??

You are once again awesome. What a great site this is, and as a pro I have spent an enormous amount of time on webpages for Excel. And had you not published this, I would not have learned this - because other informational sources have too much *unimportant* info. The thing about this channel's videos is that IT SHOWS ONLY USEFUL AND PRACTICAL INFORMATION. And very, very well explained, simply enough to not leave me confused, but rapidly and efficiently delivered.

OMG! What an amazing "array" of array functions! Can't wait to have them generally available! BTW, difficult to choose a favourite yet, because for now all seem to be equally useful! Thank you Leila for this nice demo with clear explanation!👌👍

These functions are so simple to use. No text to column, no transpose, no offset. This is more than one can expect. Time for everyone to switch to Office 365. Thanks Leila :)

I created a very complex dashboard in Excel to use for my job as a Training Supervisor, tracking training schedules, tracking documents, staff lists, a matrix and so on. This will eliminate so many of the confusing formulas I had to come up with and make it easier to add/remove people from certain parts when staff changes.

I get the value of the new functions, especially targeted at non programmers, but it would be nice if they added formal regex support. I've had my own UDFs for regex for several decades, but it would be nice if it came "out of the box"

Perfectly explained, Leila Gharani simply has it down, I always enjoy watching her videos.

Wow, everyone was wonderful! I have been doing this with long long formula.... My heart goes to say THANKS TEAM EXCEL only after *Thank You Excel Queen Leila* !!!!

all of them... been programming for 35 years. Love your work on arrays. I'd about given up on excel but now see why 365 is fantastic. The way it handles dynamic arrays and indirect addressing is awesome. Thanks for your videos...

Fantastic developments, but there still remains the challenge of having spill natured formulas to function within a table. Thanks Leila for the great explanation of underlying principles. Can't wait to use them.

Thank you so much, you’ve turned my tedious job into something I enjoy. It’s so insane that we have all these people in data/admin jobs that are never trained to use it to its full potential.

Favorite? The TOCOL function. In the past it was a nightmare to add several coloums into one. There are some workarounds to get this done, but they are very time consuming. Thank you Leila for these great news and for the very nice video!

All are amazing! I would say the TOROW AND TOCOLUMN functions are what I was looking for recently. Thank you so much!

Amazing 😍😍and Great functions and always your great explanation

Leila, your videos have become a reference in our company. Thank you for your brilliant work.

Looks like we are having an SQL class. Thanks for the tips, I am updating my Microsoft already... I love this and you got much of my respect Leila Gharani ❤❤❤❤ I love the TextSplit, Expand, are so dope, I have used similar functions onTextBefore and TextAfter are in PQuerry before. Nonetheless, having them in Excel is so much cool RN..... WOOOOW

I remember 20 years ago learning the manual way to do some of these functions. I still have to look up old notes that I can now toss - huge time saver!

I wish I could find someone who gets excited to see me the way Leila gets excited to see new excel functions.

I love this new functions. They behave like many properties with a Pandas dataframe in Python. In others words an Excel user will get use to Python easier.

All the new functions are cool for me. Thanks for the heads up Leila and kudos.

You are not only beautiful but your way of teaching goes deep in heart. I feel like soon I'm going to be expert in excel. Im a big big duffer when it comes to technology. Being an accountant I have to use excel almost everyday. Credits goes to you Leila.

I don't understand why some people disliked this video! Thanks a lot, Leila. My favorite of these new functions are textsplit and take

Hi mam, I had no ideas about excel, 3 months back when I joined my new work. Thanks to you mam . Now IAM confident to work on Excel. God bless u.

This is one of the most useful videos I have ever watched!!!! Thank you

Do You Have any idea how much I was striving for such group of equations?!!!,, I have been doing these same functions the completely hard way, this is a life savior and THANKS A TON for posting this video, I never regret watching any of your videos

Hello Leila, I really appreciate you very much for your superb presentations. The level of discernment that God bestowed upon you is beyond imagination. Thanks a million!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I was trying to press 'like' every minute of yhe video, sooooo cool and love the way you explain it! Thank you so much.

Leila, just come across your channel and i have learned a lot of insightful useful things on excel. Good job!

So exciting. This is a huge trove of functions that replace writing complicated nesting fcns and custom fcns. TEXTSPLIT/BEFORE/AFTER are huge! No more RIGHT LEFT LEN FIND nesting! And then WRAPROWS/COLS replacing the OFFSET(,ROW()*wrap_count+COL()... or weird Power Query workarounds to reorganize sloppy pasted data! LET made all of that a lot easier, but now being able to cut down on LET lines is another game changer. If only these fcns were around 5-10 years ago, I'd have had weeks more productivity! So many exclamation points, but this is so exciting for a nerd like me. I know I'm in the right place to share that. Thanks for breaking these down, Leila! Glad we can count on you to bring us the latest Excel developments.

TEXTSPLIT is my favourite! Thank you for sharing. You are my favourite go-to for all Excel tips.

This is awesome! More functions that will speed up our workflows. I am especially excited about TOCOL, which is Excel’s answer to Google Sheets’ FLATTEN!

Thank you Leila. New functions to make life easier. Now let's use them! :)

WOW WOW WOW! Those new arrays solve 90% of my complex workarounds from my spreadsheets and replace most of the top 5 custom lambdas I built and use. It also catches up finally with some key Sheets functions. Once these are fully available, these will be daily uses for me. Super impressed with Excel’s development team this last few years. Thanks for sharing this!

Thank you Liela, for me chose column is the favorite

i'm as exited as you to see this new functions, thank you! bless you!

Good times for Excel trainers like me also. We get to update our courses. So nice that I can finally put Left, Mid and Right functions to rest ! RIP, you will be missed.

Leila excellent video. Keep it up and help everyone with these simple but useful functions.

Wow, I'm so happy to hear about TEXTSPLIT, TEXTBEFORE and TEXTAFTER because of what I normally do with Excel. I think Excel is becoming more powerful each year. Thanks for this video.

My favorite - TEXTAFTER - I've been doing this with a convoluted formula that requires two helper columns for years. Can't wait to see these rolll out!

These will save me hours every month, thank you so much for this.

I like CHOOSECOLS! I'm thinking of a lot of possibilities with that one. Thanks for sharing!

I like all of them! lol. I didn't know the Text functions. Yesterday I had to use =Left(x,find(x)) to substract a word before the first comma. These text functions seem easier to use.

These formulae will be so useful in so many ways. I have so many worksheets where I've had to write these the long way!! I'm glad to see Microsoft investing in Excel capability -- it is becoming so much faster & easier to create powerful workbooks, which are readable. Thanks for sharing these!

Thank you Leila. The video is very much informative. I was waiting for new excel formulas and Your Explanation. 👍✔️💯

Thank you Leila. Hopefully the new functions are rolled out very soon.

My fvt function is choose column. Thanks alot Leila!! :)

Absolutely fantastic! It took me a lot of work to pile up tables of diferent sizes. Now it´s just... H/Vstack ?!? No word can express how I´m happy. Thanks for bring this up in such an easy way to understand. You´re simply the best !!

DAYSPLIT made my day; really happy about it. Thanks for having shared this with us.

Mind blown! The Excel Team is on fire! Thanks, Leila, for your impeccable presentation.

The more I look at videos of these functions the more I appreciate the method You teach to solve formulas. Start with a small part and build around it. Excel is getting more challenging every year. The expand function gives so much possibilities for 1-cell reports if you take the time to find out all the details needed in this function.

WOW! Excel is very much alive and doesnt stop growing. NICE!

I can slowly put aside Power Query thanks the this new functions. Thank you, many Excel files to update now!

TOCOL, VSTACK and the TEXT-funktions made me hyperventilating for one hour! Many thanks for an energizing and sharp demo!

Ok... these are all amazing... the end was something I'll start using right away. Vstack + Expand - This will really help me with all the dirty data I get!

unbelievable the code that must go behind these functions - textsplit is definitely the one I would use to separate single columns into multiple columns of data ... thanks Leila ...

Great new functions! Especially the TEXTSPLIT ! Thanks Leila.

Ok, I'm gonna say it. IT WAS ABOUT TIME MS!!! We cried for getif/filter/concat/sort/split/join for years (I did more than 15 years ago) ... then we implement them in VBA (some needed just interface to be usable), and still cry that although very easy to have, enterprise environment didn't feel safe with VBA... then comes g... with the ?sheets that has it all, free, but is only online... and now, after so many years, MS decides to implement them... I say just OK, IT WAS ABOUT TIME!!! Thanks for the great presentation Leila.

Your videos are awesome. I didn't realize how much I DIDN"T know about Excel until I started spending time on your channel. Thank you for the great videos and the hard work you put into them.

You are always awesome ma'm. Thanks for introducing us with the new functions. Lots of love from India...

the text split before and after are grep functionalities that needed to be on Excel since everrrrr!

My favorite is going to be CHOOSECOLS. These are awesome 👍

Yes, Textsplit is it.! But think i still need Right. The names example. I want column with 1.Names, 2.empty or middlenames, and then 3.last Names. Found your channel a few weeks ago. Love Excel, and now this channel.

FAVOURITE…VSTACK…thanks update Leila..take care

Thank you for being a leader in expanding the limited horizon of our knowledge leading to a great future. Awesome.

The choosecols and chooserows are goonna be popular indeed

I agree that TEXTSPLIT is probably the most useful based on how often I’ve needed to parse names or other data into separate columns. That said, I expect to find creative uses for many of the others eventually, especially in combination with other functions like the ones you highlighted (SORT, UNIQUE, FILTER, etc). Great presentation as always!

Omg torow and tocols I have needed that all my life

Thank you Leila for sharing these amazing Excel function to ease our day to day activities at work.

Awesome I also loved the text split function. More power to ask those excel power users

I am practically drooling at the mouth just seeing this. It's about time. I LOVE EXCEL!

VStack is amazing for auditing purposes. I'm so excited. Thanks for the early video on what's coming.

It's the CHOOSECOLS and CHOOSEROWS for me. Thank you for another great video!

I am so excited for these functions!!! I need them all

OMG, finally! Some of those functions I was waiting for years, literally. Nice vídeo, as always!

CHOOSECOLS is definitely my favorite. Thank you Leila 🙌

5:51 Dang! Alex Collins in procurement is raking it IN! Most Valuable Procurer apparently.

Thanks Sister for teaching.

Your videos are always helpful and great to learn new functions. thanks,

Wow.. these will fasten up and also simplifies lot of manual work.. My fav would be Vstack, textsplit n sort.. its very powerful.. thank you for sharing! 👏

Where was VSTACK last week when I spent all day trying to append arrays from multiple sheets into one? Seriously glad they came up with this one!

I'm pumped about TEXTSPLIT!

VSTACK/HSTACK & choosecols are my favorite. thanks for the video

Wonderful! I just used a combination of FILTER, SORT, TAKE, CHOOSECOLS to define a top X in a year out of a list that consists of 46.000 items. Before I had to use long and complex formulas to get the same result.

Thanks 👍 I agree, textsplit is the one I see immediate use for

OMG excel will make our life more easy... Superb Teaching

I work with delimited multi-part identifiers all the time where I need a part of the identifier for sorting and grouping. TEXTBEFORE() and TEXTAFTER() have eliminated all those complicated MID()-plus-FIND() formulas I used to write. Yayyy!

Loved the split function!

Thank you so much ! My favourite : All of them !! Finally I don't have to go through Power Query to process some simple functions 😌😌
